On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "Don Lemon Tonight," Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady stated that the amount of children in the city hospitalized with the flu in a typical year is "comparable" to the hospitalization rate among children for COVID, "the risk of COVID was lower for both kids and staff who were in-person, in school with mitigations" earlier in the pandemic, and she worries "that not being able to be back in person could just keep going on here. And we've got to, at some level, learn to live with COVID with the appropriate safety mitigations in place."
